I'm a Southwest Airlines pilot and my understanding is that Boeing will make a custom B-737/787 aircraft for us - making a small version of the 787(i.e. under 150 seats). Do you have info on the subject?

all, the Southwest pilot,you must be talking about 737 replacement. Boeing's position is that engine must come first. If there will be a suitable engine(s) with significant fuel efficiency improvement, Boeing will start developing 737 replacement. Of course Boeing will incorpoarate any 787 feature that is deemed beneficial for the airplane.

Jonyou are missing the one that Boeing will use for static testing i.e. break the wings in the test jig. (I plan to be there no pics though I like my job.) so one of the line numbers is wrong as has as which line number the customer gets. Maybe you could talk Boeing into selling you the broken one for cheap lol...
